Presidential hopefuls’ competition for Latino voters is ratcheting up this weekend with Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., scheduled to lead a Spanish-language town hall for Bernie Sanders.

The campaign said Ocasio-Cortez is scheduled to deliver the keynote address at the Las Vegas town hall for Sanders on Sunday.

The two are scheduled to be together the day before in Venice, Calif., for a rally.

The events are scheduled to follow Thursday’s debate in California, a state where more than 7 million Latinos are eligible to vote, including about 3 million who are not registered.

In Nevada, the Democratic Party has been holding trainings in Spanish to increase Latino participation in the state’s Feb. 22 caucus. Latino voters in the state helped usher in a Democratic candidate and senator.

Sanders has been polling well with Latino voters, particularly young voters.

that the Democratic Party has been holding training sessions in Spanish to increase Latino participation. Hopefully they are emphasizing that they should be voting for candidates that are proud to Democrats in between elections instead of every four years when it is convenient.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

She is the perfect voice to promote Bernie's message to the Latino community, which is embracing him more and more each day. With the gains Bernie is also making in the AA community, he will be unstoppable, and will win not only the Democratic primary, but clobber the Traitor-in-Chief in the general.

Bernie/Elizabeth or Elizabeth/Bernie 2020!!
Either way, they're stronger together!!
And they can't be bought!!
Say hello to the revolution!!
